factory-girl | A library for setting up .NET objects as test data | Mock library

I have a simple Poro, like so:

I'm writing tests for an express app that implements a user CRUD. Before writing integration tests, I made a factory that would create users for the tests:

factories.js

I have two classes PublisherLevel and Publisher. If we create a publisher, the PublisherLevel count should be equal to 14 - the count of different publisher level types. In our db, we have a foreign key constraint. This is just a lookup table. I'd like to do someithing like this:

What Am I doing

I am using factory girl with sequelize adapter for testing with Mocha. I know I am doing something wrong with the set up but could not pick up the problem.

Here is my code:

I've spent a couple days on this bug, and I've looked at many answers and practiced my most earnest Google-Fu, and tried many different babel plugins and presets configurations, as well as tried migrating my webpack 1 project into a webpack 2 incarnation, and in the end I'm still hitting the same wall. Please give me an assist.

When I try to build my project, all open sourced here, and most recently active and relevant to this question in the webpack2migration branch, I've been unable to build for production (and not even dev after futzing more and more with it through unproductive debugging)

This is the error I haven't gotten around, admittedly because I don't understand some (maybe many) of the complexities in webpack and how babel is to be correctly configured for what I'm struggling with.

Here's the error:

I have a hash of key and values that I would like to be created using FactoryGirl. I went through a POST with similar requirements, but couldn't understand a way to achieve what I want. Following is what I tried:

In my application there is an admin part, which is restricted to superadmins (users with a property superadmin: true). I've got a shop list, which I want to get paginated and tested.

When debugging the current code with save_and_open_page I get a blank page. If I log in not as a superadmin, I get redirected to application's root and when trying to debug with save_and_open_page is see the root page.. If I do not log in at all, then I'll get redirected to the sign in page. So the basic functionality should work.

I'm having no clue why it does not work with superadmin and why I do not see the shops list when debugging with save_and_open_page.

This is my spec/controllers/shops_controller_spec.rb (copied basically from here) :
